Arm River Track series - Lake Price Cradle Mountain, Tasmania, Australia
By geoskid on 20-Nov-08. Waypoint GA1282

The Arm River track is the shortest route into Pelion Hut, which is located about halfway along the Overland Track.

Mt Okleigh, Pelion East, Pelion West, and Mt Ossa are all able to be climbed as day walks from Pelion Hut.

The Arm river track is a reasonably easy walk after an initial steep climb, is fairly sheltered, and takes in some spectacular scenery and views.

Map Reference: TASMAP 1:25,000 Rowallan and Cathedral cover the whole track.

Ref - Cradle Mountain Lake St Clair and Walls of Jerusalem National Parks by Chapman, Chapman and Siseman, for access, detailed track notes, planning and safety.

Walking time from carpark to Lake Price is approx. 1- 1.5hrs, depending on how many breathers you have. Total walking time to Pelion Hut is approx. 4- 5hrs.

Once you reach the Lake, take the minor track that skirts the Northern shoreline of the Lake, and rejoins the main track on the Eastern side of of a small bridge that crosses a creek that flows into the Lake from the North.

There is a magnificent view from GZ across Lake Price with Mt. Pillinger as the backdrop. No need for bushbashing, cache is accessed from the minor track skirting the Lake.

Cache is a black 200ml Sistema with log book, pencil and stash note.
